Misidentified, Marginalized — A Plea for Recognition
Sasmita Behera, from the Kandha Gouda Adivasi community in Daspalla, raises a critical issue — many families in her area have been incorrectly documented as Tanla Gouda (OBC) instead of Kandha Gouda (Scheduled Tribe).
This misclassification has deprived students of much-needed educational support and excluded families from vital ST welfare schemes.
We urge the authorities to:
✅ Immediately verify and correct the caste classification
✅ Issue ST certificates to rightful Kandha Gouda beneficiaries
✅ Prevent further loss of education due to official errors
This isn’t just a clerical mistake — it’s a barrier to rights, recognition, and a fair future.

Denied Identity, Denied Rights — A Call for Correction
Rajini Nayak, a woman from the Kandha Gouda Adivasi community in Daspalla, brings to light a pressing concern — several families are wrongly recorded as Tanla Gouda (OBC) instead of Kandha Gouda (ST).
This error has led to students being denied educational support, and families losing access to ST-specific welfare schemes.
We appeal to the authorities to:
✅ Urgently review and correct caste records
✅ Provide ST certificates to all eligible Kandha Gouda members
✅ Stop student dropouts caused by such misclassification
This is not just a paperwork issue — it’s a matter of justice, dignity, and equal opportunity.
